I wonder if the threat the Primes are training Optimus for is the Fallen (the original Megatronus). Steeljaw's a pretty nasty character, but I don't see him as being a threat that Prime would need to be reborn for. And with "our" Megatron out wandering the galaxy somewhere...

I think you're onto something there.

Well, there is this image from the Japanese opening for the show:

So it's either an as yet unrevealed character (either the Fallen or Galvatron, being separate from Megatron this series) or the animators for that opening added a random shadowy character who has no association with the show (wouldn't be the first time that's happened).

they could be taking the movie route and make galvatron a human made transformer while also having him as a seperate character or they could take idw route and make him completely unrelated but those are my thoughts.

Sabrblade, I`m glad that Windblade finally makes her appearance on Robots In Disguise 2015 cartoon. But as for the feline Decepticon that she`s fighting, is that cat actually a lion or a puma? Of course, he can't be a jaguar or a leopard, since they are not brown in color. What vehicle does that Decepticon turn into? Does he even have a name yet?

Like I said before, I'm an ignorant nobody.

In the fourth episode of Transformers: Robots in Disguise, one of the Decepticon prisoners that the main cast encounter is lobster-like Bisk, who turns into a really quite slick car. Concept artist for the show Augusto Barranco has tweeted a couple of images showing the development and initial ideas for the character - take a look at them below!

[hurricane567]

Lobster, nothing, he's a crawfish!

[Autobot N]

So I see that no one has seen the new Transformers Battle Tactics event Bruticus Smash.

[Archanubis]

Lobster, nothing, he's a crawfish!

He's some sort of crustacean - though lobster makes sense. Think about it: he looks something like a lobster, and his name is Bisk...

You make the connection.

[PrymeStriker]

Yeah, you guys remember that one guy that appeared in that one episode for that one scene, right?

[Rated X]

Steeljaw was weird enough but this character is really silly looking. RID has really made a mockery of the Decepticons. They look like a bunch of robot He-Man characters and Pokemon.

[TurboMMaster]

I think Bisk was very interesting character, it is so sad that he wasn't appeared to much so far.

I think that this dark guy indeed is Megatron, after all, they need him to keep seeling toys. wthout Megatron, Decepticons team is never complete.

[NuclearConvoy]

I'm totally loving this guy. I sincerely hope that we get a toy of this at Warrior-class. I feel we won't and I'm only half joking when I say I want to start a petition to get him made.

Well the Prime line had an autobot heavy toy line up at first but b the end it was 2 thirds bad guys (I am combining decepticons and predacons).

Unless they bring Bisk back in future episodes I see little likeliness of him getting a toy unless this line gets massive.

Quite the opposite actually almost all of them are great characters despite their looks Steeljaw being so far the best of them.



I assume you have watched none of the 13 episodes released so far.

14 episodes, you mean.

Why you assumed that Cybertronians have to antropomorphic? We hand not-so-human-like robot modes already in G1 (Sky Lynx for example).

I had changed that mind, I think that this Shadow Guy is Galvatron- Propably Megatron's Evil clone(So technically a serparate entity) that try to reunite Decepticons. This way we can have Megatron back in show without problem of Megatron becoming evil again for no reason problem.

[psj333]

Va'al, thanks for showing us Bisk's alt-mode, which is a futuristic muscle car, which is described as a mixture between a 1967 GTO and a 1963 Corvette Stingray. It's unfortunate, however, that only the bottom of the vehicle mode is shown in the cartoon. As for Filch, we finally get a glimpse of what her official bot mode will be like in the series. Too bad, her face hasn't been shown yet in the cartoon. Does that mean that these characters are scheduled to make a re-appearance in future episodes, so that they can join Steeljaw's group in order for them to form a full-fledged Decepticon army?

ANother example would be LioKaiser and his components. Many (including the combined mode) have animal faces instead of robot ones during robot modes and have anial themes names like the decepticons seen on RID: Leozack, Drillhorn, Guyhawk, Hellbat, Jallguar, and Killbison

The major difference between RID15 and those characters mentioned is that RID15 extends the animal theme beyond just a name and helmet shape. It really extends the animal theme throughout the entire design while still transforming into a non-animal alt mode in most cases.

Sky Lynx stands out amongst TF designs because of how different he is and these do the same. Furthermore the RID15 Decepticons a esthetics carry over to the vehicle mode as well.

[william-james88]

Furthermore the RID15 Decepticons aesthetics carry over to the vehicle mode as well.

Really? In which way aside from the colors?

[NuclearConvoy]

Steeljaw's vehicle mode is a wolf's head in profile, for one. Thunderhoof is obvious, his antlers carry over to his vehicle mode. That Buffalo guy had a very distinct design to his vehicle mode that mimicked animal features.

Recently sources tells me that Terrashock is an armored truck or a security van. But just to make it perfectly clear, can you tell if he is really a armored truck or a dump truck, judging by the image:


http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/5/5 ... e_mode.jpg

[NuclearConvoy]

Armoured Truck sounds about right.

[Madeus Prime]

I'd go with armored truck or garbage truck, not that it really matters.

[psj333]

Is the feline Decepticon that Windblade is fighting in the preview clip is actually a lion or a puma? Of course, it can't be a jaguar or a leopard, since that these cats do have spots on it. What kind of vehicle does this cat transform into?
